About Jitney
Directed by Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Jitney runs at Two River Theater in Red Bank, NJ from January 29-February 19, 2012. www.trtc.org.
The winner of two Pulitzer Prizes and the Tony Award, August Wilson is acclaimed as one of America’s greatest writers. Jitney is the eighth play in his monumental 10-play cycle, which depicts the African-American experience in each decade of the 20th century.
This powerful and touching play is set in 1977 Pittsburgh, in a makeshift storefront depot for gypsy cab drivers. The men share stories and gossip, two young lovers fight for their future, and the station owner confronts his long-estranged son. Two River Theater’s exciting new production features a stellar company of theater veterans and distinguished Broadway actors.
